This is the kind of game I hate so much as a fan because despite as much as I want us to win I can't see any way of it happening. I can't see any way for us to stop the Pat's offense. Our inside linebackers are horrid against the pass, Bell and Wilson can't manage to cover TEs at all, and I have no clue what poor guy is gonna get tasked with trying to stop Welker.
simple. we run the ball.....run it all day.....and keep their offense off the field. they shut down our run. we lose. that simple. gotta play like the saints/colts games.....but this time finish.
since 2001, the Patriots are 7-1 following a bye week, with an average margin of victory at 15.1 points. they're always tough in this situation. and they're at home. and they outscored their last 2 opponents 94-7. yes yes, it was the Titans and Bucs, but still, they destroyed them easily. i think the line makes sense. and i could easily see them winning by much more.
